8. Anna Cockrell reigns supreme in 400m hurdles
Anna Cockrell won the 400m hurdles over Jamaica's fierce Shannon Kalawan with an incisive, well-executed race. Her time of 55.20 won convincingly over Kalawan's 56.54, registers as a new PB and ties for No. 2 all-time in U.S. prep history. Leslie Maxie ran the same time in 1984--a mark that stood as the national high school record for 32 years until Syndey McLaughlin lowered it to 54.15 this July.
